The former goalkeeper of Benin has reacted to the list drawn up by coach Gernot Rohr for the March international break. Fabien Farnolle criticized the Franco-German technician for this group that he believes will not produce anything good.
The national team coach of Benin was in a press conference last week. The Franco-German technician has announced his list of players selected for the March international break. A group of 25 Cheetahs with regulars, returnees and some new faces including Mariano Ahouangbo and Lenny Pirringuel.
The list has already received criticism within the Beninese sports community. The latest to criticize this group that seems like déjà vu is goalkeeper Fabien Farnolle. In a post on social media, the former Beninese international expressed his dissatisfaction with the coach’s choices.
“The list of Benin is a joke. I have been saying since the 2019 AFCON that we are walking on our heads in this selection!!! So, Cebio Soukou is not satisfying by playing in the Turkish League 2! And others who are not playing in amateur leagues are satisfying. What kind of sauce is this? Despite this, others continue to come. Congratulations to them, good luck!” he posted. Gernot Rohr will appreciate!
The Cheetahs will face Ivory Coast and Senegal in the first international break of the 2024 calendar year. The Benin team will challenge the reigning African champions on March 23 at 5 pm (GMT+1) at the Stade de la Licorne in Amiens, France.
And three days later, the Beninese ambassadors will face the Lions of Teranga, at the same stadium but at 8:30 pm (GMT+1). These are big matches to gauge the level of the Beninese squad before the resumption of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
